The Rogue Nation of LSN38 is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Lisa with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, ban on automobiles, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.882 billion LSN38ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Portland. The average income tax rate is 47.2%.

The frighteningly efficient LSN38ian economy, worth 455 trillion coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 157,991 coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Lisa's family members carry literal get-out-of-jail-free cards, protests are illegal, Portland's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight, and translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. LSN38's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Wicca.

LSN38 is ranked 11,123^rd in the world and 1^st in Trade Market for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 83,419.5 Standard Monetary Units.
